WHAT IS TRUTH WANTED? 🤔

Truth Wanted is a show about getting to the bottom of beliefs, whether it’s karma or Christ, Bigfoot or crystals. Truth Wanted would like to know how you know it’s true.

Hosted by ObjectivelyDan, Truth Wanted takes calls from the community (that means YOU!) and features new guests every week, emphasizing thorough conversations over name-calling and scoffing (most of the time). Truth Wanted focuses on how and why people believe what they believe, and how you can talk about beliefs in more effective ways.

    In today’s episode of Truth Wanted, Thinker is joined by Mama Bash and Pynk Beard to explore the nature of objective reality and the mechanics of deconstruction! They dive into the "wallet fairy" of personal testimony, the chemical compounds of love, and whether logic requires a metaphysical anchor. Can we separate our subjective "my truth" from the hard, cold facts of the universe?
    Trish-(TikTok) asks if truth and facts are synonymous. Pynk Beard explains that while honesty is subjective, truth must comport with objective reality. They use a "wallet fairy" analogy to show how stories can be factually false. How can we prevent feelings from coloring data?
    Truth Follower-(TikTok) argues for an intelligent creator to ground reality. Pynk Beard defends the laws of logic, noting that a "married bachelor" cannot exist. They explain that consciousness and love are measurable physical processes. Does reality need a supernatural supervisor?
